Cheney Uses Mideast As Campaign Issue
Vice President Dick Cheney on Friday pointed to the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah as fresh evidence of the ongoing battle against terrorism that underscores the need to keep President Bush's Republican allies in control of Congress.

``This conflict is a long way from over,'' Cheney said at a fundraising appearance for a GOP congressional candidate. ``It's going to be a battle that will last for a very long time. It is absolutely essential that we stay the course.''

Cheney's visit to Tampa helped raise about $200,000 for the campaign of Gus Bilirakis, a state legislator who is running for the Tampa Bay area congressional seat his father is vacating.


(snip)
Bilirakis' Democratic opponent, Phyllis Busansky, scheduled a news conference near the hotel where Cheney was appearing to argue that the Bush-Cheney administration had failed on both domestic and foreign policy fronts. In addition, a handful of demonstrators gathered outside the hotel to protest what they said were problems with the administration's prescription drug program.

1. omg, this just proves they are bloodthirsty vampires
who just don't care what anyone thinks. We definitely have a big problem. Cheney is very dangerous and he has proven it so many times, and just does not flying fuck what we think.
